A very interesting law suit between Torrentspy and MPAA

Reference: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/05/25/torrentspy_lawsuit/
Torrentspy came under fire as the latter had been constantly demanded to hand over account information. It also stood up a fight to countersue MPAA for hacking.
Well, torrentspy took the ultimate step in protecting their users to the very end and closed the site down.
Any views on this interesting event?
